I am posting this for IAmAGiantCookie in vent because he is to lazy to register. A good number of the times when we do ladder, right after we're done loading he will get randomly disconnected from the game. He is not kicked off battle.net just out of the ladder game we were pleaying. Hes looked on the various WC3 forums and can't seem to find anything that has helped him. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I had this problem when Warcraft III first came out. It started when I moved into the dorms because the internet connection there wasn't completely stable. The connection would drop completely for very brief periods of time, but this was enough for Battle.net to disconnect me from the game and kick me into the lobby. I only ever experienced this on Battle.net. In other games I would just have extremely brief (less than a second) lag spikes, but had no disconnection issues. Oddly enough, this problem was the driving factor that caused me to switch from RTS's to FPS's as my primary genre.

I would tell Cookie to look into his router to make sure it is stable. There are a lot of less than stellar routers on the market.
